A newbie to this forum but a few years into collecting and shooting milsurps. I only wish I had discovered this hobby earlier in my life. I find more enjoyment in these old rifles than any other hobby I've ever had. I started with a Mosin and the rest is history as they say. I've been blessed with two of my three grown kids liking guns and shooting. The third one purchased her first pistol a couple weeks ago. It's only a matter of time before we have her totally immersed! Of course momma is not into guns but she enables a lot to gun buying!
My oldest, a son, loves sporting guns, long and short. My youngest, a daughter, loves all things gun but especially milsurps. We spend lots of quality time out searching for milsurp rifles and shooting at the range. She's now converted her boyfriend into a milsurp collector too. We will be out shooting, a couple of new to us Swedish M96s, a new to us M95 Chilean and a new to us 1903 Bulgarian M95 contract rifle, over Thanksgiving. Life is good!
Look forward to gleaning knowledge and participating on this forum.
